A successful English 1301 student is not just one who has passing grades, but one who does all their task wisely.When i first started English comp 1301 i thought i was going to breeze through it without a problem,but i was wrong. The class proved to be a challenge that required a great deal from me. It required time-management, determination, flexibility, focus, priorities, communication and engagement. Although I did great at demonstrating some of the traits, there were some that i did not excel at, and for that I paid the price.
Determination is defined as firmness of purpose. In order to complete any task no, matter how miniscule, you must have the determination to do see it all the way through. In 1301, determination is going to be a major factor as to whether you get your work done or not. You must be determined to take on any assignment thrown your way. You must also be determined to do the best that you can do, both physically and mentally. Determination is a key characteristic for students to excelling in 1301.
My determination in English 1301 was not the best. I was determined to do all my work to obtain a superb grade, but I would almost always start slacking when i was nearly or halfway done. For example, on my second essay that I was assigned, I started off strong, but halfway strong I just didn’t give it my all. My lack of determination, as well as many other reasons, caused me to fail that essay. My determination helped me to achieve much in this class, but
If exceptional grades and numerous excellence awards are to indicate anything, I have succeeded academically thus far. However, such achievements are only possible because of my work ethic and determination. I pride myself on submitting my best work, pitting myself against my past performances. I remember my tenth grade English class; I was writing essays every week. I took every critique from my teacher and considered it for the next piece. Experience I gained from that class carried over into eleventh grade, where I achieved the highest English grade I have ever made. Even now, I look back at my older essays to help me write, so I know what works and what to avoid. Perseverance through school and desire to improve have carried me well, even through activities outside of my education.
Currently, people within our society are mainly divided by the groups they identify with or with how they are identified by others. These identities are defined by our social location. Social location includes our gender, race, ethnicity, social class, sexual orientation, and religion (Hutchison, 2011). In this paper, I will take a close look at my social location and attempt to describe how it affects my way of living and my professional life.
The Science of Willpower. To me this helps by saying I will finish this assignment, I won’t quit, I
Before starting English 1102 I was so excited because I knew who class I wanted to take; but, his class was full. I was a very sad cookie. Then my friend Josh told me her knew a professor that was better than the one I wanted and that I would love her class. I’m glad I trusted Josh and took this class. In my English 1102 class I evolved as a writer, experienced a lot of new things, made a few mistakes, and learned from them.
My final thoughts towards English 1301 would probably be described in one word which would be awesome; from what I learned in class will help me out towards my path to the future I understand that I still have some errors as I write essays or journals; but I will like to believe that I will get better as I stay in English and I work more on my dents that I have.

While taking taking English 1302 with prof. Innis, i learned so much stuff that was useful to me in college. Every student should be able to say a few things they have learned from a class after they finished with it, and that's what I am here to do today. During this class period i learned how to manage time, stop procrastinating a lot, and finally i learned to become a better writer. All of these improvement made me a better student, and I am grateful for it.
I learned many lessons in my English 1301 class, but there are three specific ones I liked the most, writing a research paper, using transition words in an essay, and to attend to class. Most of these lessons are a daily basis and I used them or do them in different subjects without noticing it. The daily work in this class helped me improve these three lessons. It also helped me overtake some of the works I had in other subjects.
For the short amount of time I have attended English 1101 through Sinclair I have learned that college courses are not like high school. English 1101 is even a sugar coated version of a real college class because I do not leave my high school campus. This class puts a lot more responsibility on the students compared to high school. I noticed that my usual procrastination did not make the cut. I have perceived that my grammar, vocabulary, and editing skills have
My overall experience in English 1301 has definitely changed the manner in which I think, write, and read. I have learned a great deal in this class, mainly on how to write an extended definition essay and also how to effectively include commentary in an essay. These new things as well as many others that I have learned in this class will help me succeed in other classes. I believe these skills will help me succeed because I can apply it to other essays I write and also discussions. I think something that I did not know very well when I came into this class was grammar. After I took the first grammar quiz, I felt a little lost. This changed once the answer key was released and I really tried to understand the concept. I can now correct grammar
Overall, I enjoyed English 331 this semester. This class has helped me become a better writer and speaker. I have improved on my writing techniques, as well as word choice and grammar.
In an effort to encourage the ideology displayed by Coach Joe Kennedy, Matt Calkins expresses gratitude and respect towards him throughout his article. Although Coach Kennedy does display rebellious features in his denial to district orders, Calkins assures that this is effective for the children as it teaches them about courage and it shows that it is okay to stand up for what you believe in. Calkins acts as Kennedy’s lawyer by showing the innocence and constitutional rights associated with his actions. Conjointly, Calkins cuts deep emotionally and reaches out to the great majority through his repetition of the words “Joe can coach my kid any day.” Along with emotions, this incorporates a personal connection to the coach because he is impressed
My experience into English 111 not only left me anxious, it became a self-revelation. My learning capabilities were challenged because writing did not come natural and the possibility of becoming a prominent writer were going to take a lot of time, effort and hard work. In spite of not knowing what to expect, I entered into this new semester pumped up carrying an “I can do this” attitude and feeling confident.
This was not the first time I took English 1301. The first time I took this class, I had to withdraw from it. I was missing too many days, because I would wake up late. I was not doing my homework. I had problems with the teacher. At the midpoint of the semester I knew there were no changes to pass the class. I had to withdraw and take the W. This semester things are different. I decided to take evening classes. I was lucky to choose a wonderful teacher. The most important thing was that I did my work. My success was due to the fact that I changed my bad habits.
One of the most intriguing characters in the epic Paradise Lost is Satan who rebels against God and chooses to live his life on his own terms. While Satan is commonly associated with evil, John Milton portrays him sympathetically and shows uses him as a tool to demonstrate the power of free will. In Paradise Lost, Satan can be considered to be the ultimate rebel. Not only does he defy God, but he also influences others to think for themselves and to blindly follow others.
